Gossamer

Commerical Product Evaluation Specialists

Accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP Lab Code: 200997-0)

Practice Areas

Gossamer is the most experienced and productive Common Criteria laboratory operating under the U.S. Scheme. FIPS, CSfC, and other services round out our offerings to help make us a one stop shop.

Common Criteria & CSfC

Our experience and the use of in-house developed tools help make our product evaluations both efficient and effective.

FIPS

Our FIPS services support and compliment our Common Criteria Services with experts to help sort out and navigate complex requirements.

Consulting

Our long-term experience can be deployed to help you prepare for product evaluations and to address other cyber-security topics.

The Gossamer laboratories are independent, third-party facilities accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP Lab Code 200997-0) to perform FIPS 140 Cryptographic testing and Common Criteria evaluations. While accredited for specific security testing purposes, these laboratories are multi-purpose offerings including derivative services based on available knowledge and expertise.

At Gossamer we believe in cross training and utilization of skills. Each of our laboratory experts is strategically assigned to bring a wide range of experience and talent to each project. We are not just building Common Criteria or cryptography specialists, but rather are striving to produce across-the-board security specialists. This is particularly important to our accredited laboratory functions as they become more and more intertwined.

Even if you already have a laboratory or mediating consultant, you should consider Gossamer. We are competitive and have experience to rival or exceed most other laboratories and with Gossamer you will not need a separate consultant since we offer complete evaluation and testing service packages.
